Joe Bowling and Sadie Hasson last night.
The Academy was crowded. "Nobody's
Claim" was presented, and the applause
was liberal throughout. Mr.. Bowling
and Miss Hasson were strongly supported,
and the scenery was as fine as any ever
shown in this house. The musical fea-
lures were loudly encored, and the per-
Torrance as an entirety was n great sue

Warner, convict serving q sentence Of
twenty-one years for manslaughter, cut
and mortally wounded Frank Harris, an
other convict sent up for three years for
grand larceny. Both men worked in the

one Of the best and inoRensive men in the,

the prison authorities, being naturally Of q
mean disposition. He sharpened knife
with which he was working, and walking up
to Harris who was busily engaged, without
word Of warning, plunged it into his neck,
severing the jugular vein. Warner declared
that Harris had used offensive language to
him, but his statement Is not believed. He
can not be tried, unless he is pardoned, until

He Ate His Ancestors.

The Maoris are logical reasoners,
good debaters, fond of contentious and
as well up in the genealogy of their
families as Scotch Highlander, and
as stubborn when their rights are in
fringed upon. At land court a mid
dle-aged Maori had just finished long
speech, claiming that his name should
be inserted in the grant, to the exclu-
sion of an old grizzled Maori who had
sat quietly by without moving muscle
of his countenance, and heard the
younger man ask in the course of his
harangue, with much .gesticulating,
where are my ancestors buried but on
this land, where 1 was born and
brought up?" When he had ended the
old Maori rose, throwing Off everything
but waist cloth. and bounding across
the room, addressed the court in this
wise: II have listened with disgust
and contempt to this tuturu nobody
What claim can he have to this land I?

opium smokers and become accustomed
to a medicated atmosphere they acquire
a taste for the poison. One monkey
for instance, would wait until his mas

Democracy and the Tariff.

For twelve years now the Democratic
party has been demanding reduction of
the war taxes and pledging itself to stop
the surplus. For the greater part of this
time il has had control of the lower house
of Congress, in which revenue measures
must originate, and not once has it passed
bill through that House reducing the
taxes. In the last two Congresses, though
having a large majority, it was unable even
to secure consideration for the subject.
If the Democratic leaders wish
the country to believe that they mean to
stop the surplus by reducing the taxes they
must pass bill for that purpose. Talk will
not do it.-Nelr York World (Dem).

There are several very good reasons
why the Republicans should carry New

The advantage given 10 them by Governor

State of an income Of over 81, 1000, 900 per

The Republican State Convention, the
best representative gathering held by this
party ia the Empire State for years, per-
formed its work faithfully and well. Har-
mony and good feeling, bordering almost
on jollity, characterized the entire proceed
ings. and never have the Republicans been
more sanguine of success. There was no
bossism or attempt at dictation, and no
obnoxious factional lines could be dis
cerned. There were no stalwarts and no
half breeds, as the opposing elements of
the past were to- day enjoying each other s
confidence as unit for the benefit of the
party. Realizing that Presidential cam
paign is close at hand, the unanimous SEN
timent was in favor of closing up any pos
